multistate provides a general framework for flexible parametric modelling of arbitrary multi-state survival models.
The latest stable version of multistate can be installed with:
ssc install multistate
To install directly from this GitHub repository, use:
net install multistate, from("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RedDoorAnalytics/multistate/main/")
